Tango Brand Eggs- Original 1993 SCD Article

[barrysloate]

I was just going through a folder and found a June 18, 1993 SCD article which discusses the find of Tango Brand Eggs cards the previous year. Interestingly, the article was written by Doug Allen.

Here is how he breaks down the 20 known cards, in terms of rarity:

Impossible (1 to 5 known): Bresnahan, Cobb, Crawford, Evers, Felsch, Morgan, Schaefer, Tinker, Wagner.

Ultra-Rare (from 10 to 25 known- [seems none are 5-10 known]): Bridwell, Chase, Collins, Murphy, Weaver, Zimmerman

Rare (25-50 known): Bescher, Dooin, Jennings, McQuillan, Meyers.

Obviously, in the case of Jennings and Bescher the numbers are wrong as easily well over 100 are known of each.

For those who know the set, how do these numbers stack up? Don't I recall Rob Lifson offering a huge reward just to see scans of some of the impossible ones, like Wagner and Cobb?
